Touch screen mp4 players have games only assigned to that brand e.g. apple players. Really you need to search for games on their website because they are not available anywhere else. Unless you do have an ipod touch, then visit http://www.itunes.com

wat one has a mr Verity of things like Camera music internet i want a mp4 player that can do what an i phone can do but with out the phone if that makes sense

So you basically want a touchscreen player with a camera, but not a phone?

Sorry everybody, but the iPod Touch is NOT the answer. It's not even that great...

I'm not aware of any at the moment. I do have such a thing though, but it's one of those ridiculous iPod Touch fakes, but with a camera and sloppy software built-in.

There's plenty of awesome touchscreen-based players though like the Cowon S9, Samsung P3, etc. Even if they did have cameras built-in, it would be just about the same quality as one in a cellphone.

You didn't give us even so much as the name of the player; How do we even know -if- it supports FM Radio? Give us the name/product info and we could maybe help you.

I want a touch screen MP3 player, but Apple is really expensive. Anybody know some cool brands for a touch screen MP3 player?

I have a Samsung YP-P2 and it's pretty fantastic. Music, videos, games, radio, lyrics, pictures, bluetooth... it's a little harder to use than the iPod but it's still nice. $230 on amazon.com for 8GB, a little cheaper for 4GB

The iRiver Clix is pretty nifty too, but i don't think it's a full touchscreen.


here's some more, but i think the price range is about the same as an iPod http://reviews.cnet.com/4321-6499_7-6612380.html?tag=more

If you're looking for a nice alternative to the pricey iPod Touch or other MP3/Video players, you might consider one of today's top deals online.  For today only, the V Touch 16GB touch screen media Player is priced at just $79.99 with only $5 shipping! 

The Visual Land V-Touch 16 GB Video MP3 Player features enough space for up to 4,000 songs, a nice 2.8-Inch color LCD Touchscreen and 2-Megapixel Camera for snapping pics on the go or around the home.  Especially nice is its "Drag and Drop" file transfer, making it easy to use for adding music, picture, video or data files.  It can also be used as a 16gigabyte usb mass storage device if desired.  The built in camera can double as a webcam when connected to a computer through the USB port.  Supported file formats on the media player are MP3, WMA, WAV, AVI, MP4, 3GP, AAC, JPG, GIF and BMP.  There's a FM Tuner, voice recorder and built-in speaker to listen to the device out loud. A single charge of the media player will allow it to run for up to 6 hours (playing audio). Not a bad alternative to the iPod Touch which starts around $180!

Sony Ericsson is back in the megapixel race with its monster 12-megapixel camera phone .

By ONG CHIN HAN

We have been waiting for this touchscreen Symbian sweetie to arrive ever since it was announced in February this year.

With the standard UIQ user interface gone, we were waiting to see what the Sony Ericsson boys could do with Symbian S60 5th edition.

The Satio is offered in black, silver and maroon. The review unit was a maroon though we would have liked to see a black one instead.

Styling wise, the phone looks more like a camera than a phone. It appears sleek on the front. It also feels sleek in the hand but when viewed from the side, the lens cover that’s jutting out makes the Satio look pudgy.

The Call, Menu and End Call buttons are below the 3.5in screen. Above the screen, you will find the proximity sensor, secondary camera and speaker. At the top of the Satio, you will find the speaker and the power button.

On the left, you find the screen unlock switch, Sony Ericsson’s proprietary connectivity port and the microSD card slot. To your right, you get the volume rocker/camera zoom control, playback button, camera/video mode switch and capture button.

On the back, you find the lens cover which automatically turns on the camera when slid off.

Feature-packed

The processor powering the Satio is an ARM Cortex A8 600MHz with a PowerVR SGX graphics chip which is similar to the iPhone and packs a lot of power.

There’s 128MB of internal memory to store contacts and 256MB RAM. The Satio can support microSD cards of up to 32 B so there’s no worry of running out of space.

The 3.5in touchscreen is sensitive enough that you only need to tap it lightly. It’s also precise so that your taps do not stray.

The screen provides excellent colour and contrast. Outdoors, it performs pretty well.

However, the screen can’t shine through on our super sunny Malaysian afternoons which is quite acceptable as most phones don’t have very good legibility under bright sunlight.

The Satio performs the basic phone functions admirably. Voice quality is clear.

Accessing your address book is made easy with the Symbian’s index name search that minimises scrolling through your entire address book.

You can send and receive SMS and MMS easily. E-mail can easily be set up as well.

Now, normally, Sony Ericsson phones with their Flash UI sort the SMS in a threaded/conversation view whereas Symbian phones have them sorted by date.

Sony tries to bring the threaded view back, but you can only find this feature in the Chat section. It’s not really a big issue to have this feature as long as you know how to do it.

The Satio has all the bases covered when it comes to connectivity. It handles GSM, GPRS, 3G, Wi-Fi, USB and Bluetooth. Lots of pixels

The camera on the Satio deserves to be praised and rightly so. Even though cramming in a tiny 12-megapixel sensor does have its drawbacks on image quality, the Satio’s photos turned out pretty nicely.

It excels in taking daylight images. When in a low-light conditions, a steady hand is a must even with image stabilisation on.

The reason why the Satio feels more like a camera than a phone is it has all the wonderful functions found in Sony’s Cyber-shot cameras such as Smile Detect which snaps the picture only when the subject smiles, Best Pic which takes multiple images and suggests the best one for you and finally Touch Focus where the camera will focus upon the area that you tap on the screen and then snap the picture.

The camera captures video in 640 x 480-pixel resolution which is encoded in MP4. Videos were smooth and crisp with excellent clarity.

Media playback

Sony have replicated the Walkman-style Media Centre for the Symbian OS. It organises media into Music, Photos and Videos.

I’ll go through each category. For Music, it works as expected. Songs are sorted by album, artist and title. It would’ve been nice if songs could be searched by the title or artist where you could type it in.

The sound quality is alright, but there is no equaliser function. To me, the Satio could use one as the sound is more high pitched than we would have liked.

The visualisation is interesting and rather hypnotic. Try tapping it when there is a song playing and you’ll see what I mean. Sadly, there’s only one visualisation.

Photos are displayed in a scrolling fashion where you can sweep your finger across the screen to proceed to the next or previous image.

The transitions were smooth and slick. You can access photos from the phone or from an online location.

As for videos, you can access YouTube videos and podcasts.

The video player is nothing fancy and works as expected. Videos play brilliantly on the huge screen but it would’ve been nice to pair it up with decent stereo speakers instead of the mono speaker the phone has.

In addition, you can always turn on Flight Mode to use the media player functions on flights and in hospitals.

Productivity tools

The RoadSync application allows you to link to an Exchange mail server to access corporate e-mail message, appointments and contacts.

As usual, you get the Symbian calculator, calendar and note applications. The QuickOffice and Adobe PDF applications allow you to read Word , Excel , PowerPoint and PDF files.

However, you have to purchase the full edition of QuickOffice to be able to edit files. The Adobe PDF also comes with a 30 day trial and you have to purchase a full license if you need it.

Entertainment

Sony Ericsson has loaded a couple of PlayStation games that they’ve ported to the Satio. You’ll find them on the microSD Card. We got Prince of Persia and Asphalt 4 .

We haven’t played the original games on the PlayStation but we are not to happy with the slow speed of the games.

The Satio comes with the WisePilot GPS software preinstalled so you don’t have to install other GPS software.

WisePilot is without doubt a good GPS software with voice directions.

The GPS hardware however is not up to par with the software. It took about two minutes to get a position lock when we were outside on a clear day.

Symbian’s positioning application also suffered from the same symptoms.

It’s rather strange that the Google Maps application managed to get a position lock fairly quickly even when we were indoors.

This leads us to conclude that perhaps the Symbian OS and it’s services have not been properly optimised with the Satio’s hardware.

Battery life is a bit short. If you use it heavily in the course of a day for GPS, photo taking and media playback in addition to your phone calls, expect to charge it by the end of the day.

Moderate usage for phone calls and messaging alone should get you about 2.5 days of usage. There is a supplied charger and the Satio can still be charged via USB.

Conclusion

Actually, with all the hype surrounding the Satio, we felt rather letdown.

The Satio has a habit of auto restarting once in a while (about every tow days). You get a two second lag when trying to unlock the screen, as if the phone was trying to wake itself from sleep mode.

The intermittent lags and hangs failed to convince us that it was running on some really powerful hardware.

The lags and hangs get worse if the theme is changed from the original theme which is quite peculiar.

All of this could be due to the unstable firmware on the Satio. Having said that, Sony has offered an update to improve the performance of the Satio but it seems that update has not been rolled out to the Malaysian market yet as we couldn’t update the review unit.

It looks like Sony Ericsson tried really hard to cram in a lot of features but but it just didn’t manage to optimise the Symbian OS and its apps for the Satio’s awesome hardware.

We still have faith in the company to fix the flaws in future firmware updates.

Pros: Excellent camera; GPS software is good

Cons: Buggy and slow software; no DivX and Xvid support; lacks 3.5mm jack; missing equaliser function; many other small quirks.

Update: According to Sony Ericsson, the Satio firmware update is now available via Sony Ericsson’s online support site at bit.ly/7pgFWQ. It’s very important that you back up your phone before upgrading the firmware to prevent any loss of information. Also, you can call Sony Ericsson’s helpline at 1800-88-9900 for assistance before upgrading.

In appearance, the VPD400 is pretty minimalist. Available in black, white, or pink, the plastic player sports a 4.3-inch display that dominates its face. All of the playback and navigation controls--Play/Pause/Stop, Left/Esc, Right, Up, Down, Enter/Mode--sit at the top. The bottom spine houses the on/off switch. The left spine has the power-adapter port, a speaker, and the microSD slot. On the right edge are the 3.5mm headphone jack, the HDTV port, another speaker, the microphone, and the volume rocker.

Navigating the interface is a bit tricky with the top hardware buttons. Rather than a four-way directional pad or a touchwheel, as you'd find on other nontouch portable media players, on this device each direction has its own dedicated button. The Left and Right buttons sit in the opposite corner from the Up and Down buttons, too. It took me a while to get the hang of moving through the VPD400's menu without having to tilt the player to figure out which buttons I was pressing. This is definitely a device you won't be able to control from your pocket or your bag--you need to see what you're doing.

The VPD400's user interface has six main categories--Settings, Video, Music, Photo, Voice Recorder, and EBook--represented by large icons laid out horizontally. Under Music, Video, and EBook, the menu breaks things down further according to where the content is stored (local media library, local disk, external disk, USB host), listing items vertically below each main category icon. Overall the layout is fairly straightforward; the biggest issue is the tedium involved in pressing the buttons over and over again to move where you want. It gets old fast.

As a music player, the VPD400 is reasonably flexible, supporting MP3, WMA, WAV, FLAC, APE, and OGG audio formats. In playback mode, you can show the song's lyrics, give the tune a star rating, or adjust the playback speed. You can also choose from a few different playback modes, such as Pop, Classical, or Rock. The player doesn't support album art, which is unfortunate since the VPD400's large screen would showcase it nicely.

Sound quality overall was pretty good, but it was better through my own higher-quality headphones (SkullCandy FMJ) than over the included earbuds. Sound piped through the external speakers was on the weak side, however, so you'll definitely want to use the player with headphones.

The VPD400 supports an even larger variety of video file types, including AVI, RM/RMVB, FLV, MP4, MOV, PMP, MPG, VOD, DAT, H.264, and H.263 formats. The VPD400 handled just about everything I threw at it, with the disappointing exception of MOV (QuickTime) files; none of my QuickTime movie trailers would play. Quality wasn't always consistent, either. While colors were bright and accurate, the player seemed to have some trouble handling fast motion. A scene with ducks flying over a lake stuttered a bit, and I noted some slight pixelation. I also detected pixelation in scene transitions. The effect wasn't noticeable enough to completely detract from the viewing experience, but it was a little distracting.

As a photo viewer, voice recorder, and e-book reader, the VPD400 performs well, though it cut off some of the text on a few of my e-books. You can also hook your VPD400 up to your TV with the included audio-out and RGB composite-out cables. Video on my TV looked okay, but it was obvious that the footage came from a portable media player.

The ViewSonic VPD400 MovieBook HD has a wallet-friendly price tag, but it omits a lot of features. While not everybody needs Wi-Fi or apps with their portable media player , a touchscreen is absolutely necessary on a device like this. The navigational buttons are frustrating to use, especially if you have a rather large media collection to scroll through. If you can tolerate this setup, the VPD400 is a perfectly capable, affordable player--just don't plan on watching any MOV videos.
